Thats it - I am done. 100% Christmas-ready. Stockings are hanging, cards have been sent, my bags have been packed for my Yorkshire trip on Boxing Day and all my gifts have been wrapped. Of course I honoured the age old tradition of wrapping whilst watching Home Alone 2 - the best Christmas movie ever! I also managed to squeeze in enough time to watch The Flint Street nativity afterwards, which is very very funny indeed!

And no Christmas would be complete without a trip down the road to visit this rather marvelous display of Christmas lights! They have their own nativity scene, CCTV cameras, charity donations box, and pretty much gets bigger and better every year...!

Having said that, I think I did spy an even more outrageous display today on my way to Greenford. I was going to take a photo on the way back, but ended up going on an alternative route on account of the disastrous Christmas traffic...! I'll definitely try and take a trip back before the 6th January, as I'd say it needs to be seen to be believed!

So, now we have mince pies on the go, mulled wine ready to serve, Christmas CDs on repeat, the Royle Family Christmas Special set to record, enough potatoes to feed an army ready and waiting to be peeled and all the family present and correct, Christmas can officially start as of tomorrow morning!

Have a Merry Merry Christmas one and all! And heres hoping that the snow hangs around long enough for it to be a White Christmas! x.

I have finally managed to get all my Christmas cards printed, written and sent. They are rather little, more so than I had originally planned for - but this way they fit inside the stockings, which is rather nice!
